Why is this rule not working as expected?
Solved
Hi,
I have a rule with a motion sensor, power plug and a virtual sensor.
The virtual sensor "DAYLIGHT SENSOR" is set to active between sunrise and sunset and inactiven in the night.
So, I want to enable the power plug if the motion sensor is active AND the daylight sensor is inactive (night).
The problem is, that the power plug will be enabled everytime. The status of the daylight sensor does not make any difference.
What is the problem?
The same problem 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
Thank you! That seems to work nowand the rule looks like this:
But that also means that the AND operator does in some cases not works as expected. Maybe a bug..

Hello,
If I unterstand correctly you never stop the power plug cause you use it in the first condition as "Aus". So if you don't have another rule to switch it of, it'll never be stopped. EDIT : after recheck I'm wrong. Normally at daynight, sensor OFF and Power AN you would stop the light. Have you tested also without the "JOIN" ? EDIT EDIT : also you can try and "update all" after the "JOIN"
I would create two rules, one for START and one for STOP.
Wenn Sensor AN UND Daylight INAKTIV
Power ON
--
Wenn Sensor AUS UND Power AN
Power Aus
Hope it will help

It´s not a problem that that power plug will not which off again. That is wokring fine because the motion sensor have a fixed parameter that once motion is detected, it will be active for 5 minutes.
In general the rules works fine. On motion the power plug will be activated and 5 minutes later it will be deactivated.
The problem is that it will be activated when the virtual sensor "daylight sensor" is on active and on inactive. How is that possible? This condition is completly ignored in the when clause.

Just come back with an analog experiment :
I use a Virtual Switch to check if user want a notification. Basically in all my rules I add a if VSwitch is true > send a message
This didn’t work since weeks. After checking notification issue and also recheck all my rules, I detect that this switch didn’t be consider inside the rules.
I check the status log of the VSwitch and see “no data”. So after a reboot, I force the Switch a few times ON/OFF and check the log. Finally the status appear inside.
Since the rules, without any change are working correctly and I receive the notification.
I suggest you to force your Daylight Sensor a few times and check the status, maybe it’s an issue with this.

Hi Tomu
Actually, it'ss a very simple rule. Here is an example:
